Two more exhibitions take their place at Porto Municipal Gallery on 12 June

Porto Municipal Gallery features two new projects, starting on 12 June: “Pés de Barro”, collective exhibition, curated by Chus Martínez and Filipa Ramos; and “Wall גדר جدار, by Inés Moldavski, curated by Guilherme Blanc.

The “Pés de Barro" offers different approaches on ceramic and pottery works, showcasing tradition and discussing the creative boost of such artwork. The operative concepts for the display are future and clay and artists as Neïl Beloufa, Isabel Carvalho, Gabriel Chaile, Pauline Curnier Jardin, Formabesta (Salvador Cidrás & Juan Cidrás), Tamara Henderson, Ana Jotta and Eduardo Navarro have accepted the invitation by the curators Chus Martínez and Filipa Ramos and have created the “Pés de barro” must pick exhibition.

As regards “Wall גדר جدار”, the Argentine-Israeli artist Inés Moldavsky accepted the invitation to revisit her film “The Men behind the Wall”, which was awarded the Golden Bear in the 2018 Berlin Film Festival. The plot revolves around dating conversations with Palestinian men who live in Gaza and in the West Bank. Inés Moldavsky transforms the exhibit space at the Porto Municipal Gallery by presenting captivating pieces of religious, gender political and cultural talks that were captured through a digital platform. The exhibition is curated by Guilherme Blanc, and it is particularly relevant as it is presented in a time when the States of Israel and the Palestine are living tense moments, which demonstrate the urgent need to establish a political debate around the issue of the Israeli occupation, under a tone of love, respect and equality.

Both exhibitions are entrance free and can be visited until 22 August. Please consult here all information regarding programming and calendar.
